Castle pulled at the half with a hip injury today. Obviously hope it’s just precautionary and the only long term issue will be that it’ll hurt his per game scoring a bit (4 pts).
 
Clingan with a decent game going. Has a double double (16 and 10) in the third (6-11 FG, 2-6 3FG). The last 3 he missed was after getting two offensive rebounds and drawing a foul going after a third on that one possession, so he earned a chance to miss.

Was just checking the box score and noticed his minutes, was wondering what happened. Thanks for the info, but sorry for the news.
 
Looking forward to Memphis vs Spurs tomorrow (Tuesday) on NBC/Peacock at 8. Hopefully, Steph is fine and plays in game.

Annoyingly Liam is out sick and I was at Raptors/Hornets tonight. Was hoping to see him in person, but alas bad timing.

Great game though, overall. Knueppel is a baller, he is like a coach's son.
 
Earlier this afternoon I saw a mention on ESPN that Castle will be out for one or two
weeks....did not see the reason.

BTW ESPN also said that Wemby will be out a 'few weeks'....calf issue.
After that time period he will be evaluated.

Spurs have had an excellent start ....BUT.

Just checked: Castle has a left hip flexor strain....out 2-3 weeks.

Strong half for Cam in a battle between the depleted Grizz and the depleted Spurs - 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3FG). They also ran a great play for him coming out of a timeout for a clean look at a three and he buried it, but they called a defensive holding foul way away from the ball as he was shooting and took the attempt away. D got rewarded for fouling on that one.
 
Clingan off to a good first half with 7 pts, 9 rbds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. 3-5, 0-0, 1-1.

I will say two of his offensive rebounds were on the same play and really didn't amount to anything but it was a flukey play where Avida airballed an end of shot clock jumper and Clingan tried to reverse the ball in before the clock went off then he was falling out of bounds on the second one and threw a bad pass. The other two netted a foul on the suns + missed three, and a layup.

He's been doing a lot more rolling and living around the rim.

Some of the rolls created some open 3s too. Wanted to get a screengrab of it but can't rewind on peacock.

Is it me or did he dunk more/look more athletic and mobile here?

He's noticeable faster than last year up and down the court, he's lost weight.

He was smart to come out when he did and get a decent payday. Does he get another Nba contract?

Obviously I’m biased in his favor, but I’d say he definitely gets another contract. It seems likely not with the Bucks, but his defense, athleticism, and personal traits are too valuable taken altogether for some other team not to pick him up.
 
Article from the Hartford Courant.

Former UConn players have found out just how tough it is to make a name for yourself in the world’s best league, and while a few of them are excelling, some are facing uncertain times ahead. It doesn’t take much– a loss of confidence, a minor flaw in your game, a not-fully-fit ankle to throw you off, and sometimes out of the rotation.

Did they refer to Cam as "scrawny"? Who writes this stuff?

Castle will be fine but Wemby is a concern. I really hope his career isnt derailed by injury. Would love to see him fulfill his immense potential. I truly believe he has the potential to be the greatest player the game has ever seen.

Eh, he has a calf strain which is so common. Wemby has had one freak injury with the blood clot so far.

Sitting out with the calf strain is more of a preventative for the Achilles. Wemby is freakishly nimble and flexible (like he can do a split). He was seriously made in a lab to play the game.
